el diablo Report post Posted February 10 If your just driving into Rocky Point or border towns card is fine. Flying needs a passport. Never been asked for one going in but have only been into RP. It’s coming back where you need it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allforelk Report post Posted February 10 I buy my insulin in Algodones. It all depends who screens you when you come back across. Passport is the only time I don’t get hassled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SunDevil Report post Posted February 10 when driving to MX or Canada, TECHNICALLY a US resident is not required by law to provide a passport for re-entry to the United States. Passports make it faster and are easier but a drivers license is fine. Flying to a foreign country requires a passport. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NOTAGS Report post Posted February 15 I was told over two years ago they were going to start fining people reentering the US without a passport or card after the “deadline” ....Doesn’t sound like it’s being enforced. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How can they enforce it when illegals can walk across no questions asked. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, the irony wasn’t lost on me when the Customs agent in Lukeville told me that. Now, I think most of those guys and the BP feel like” What’s the point in upholding our border laws” when the federal government doesn’t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
no worries Report post Posted February 21 Not having a passport or passport card just opens the door to being delayed/hassled when you cross back into the US. Depending on the agent, the delay can just be a couple extra questions or a 30 minute vehicle search and barrage of questions. FYI The Mexican authorities were really checking vehicle registration crossing in last week. Several vehicles were denied access due to lack of proper ownership documents and expired tags. ( Mainly RVs,) Pretty easy to put the new sticker and registration aside and forget about it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
